GCRC RE-Xtreme Hachi Rock Matsuri - Part #1 Showdown

Yes, The Hachi Rock Matsuri Rocked!

RE-Xtreme RC 210 DLM GT2 FD3s

Drift Le Mans? I Wondered what kind of liveries would appear on Mazda race cars these days.

This RENOWN based color scheme is a mix of the white Efini sponsored cars post 787B LE-Mans win.

The green is simply impact. 19" Rays Volk Racing RE-30 in green should simply be on all race cars.

Up against my own FD, we may see something happen in the future, but I don't forsee it attracting this much attention. But then again it's been done before. A bit of vinyl here and there.

Anyway, this is mounted on a Yokomo Drift Package that usually runs 190mm body.

This is 200mm HPI Mazdaspeed FD3s body

D-Stage RE-Amemiya Facer, Side Skirts and Rear Fenders.

D-Stage Mazdaspeed R-Spec Diffuser,

Yokomo S15 Wing and

Yokomo Craft Square Mirrors.

It's 210mm at the rear and the HPI RE-30 Wheels with T-Drift RE-11 32mm +6mm Offset all round. The rear requires +6mm Rear Axles.

Although it looks like a GT2 car, It will be drifted.

I'll post some Videos on Vimeo when I get around to it. Stance, clearance and some small details need to be addressed.

RE-Xtreme LM RC

Finished Almost.

The wing is a yokomo S-15 GT wing that came with craft square GT Mirrors.

Mounting was a pain. I spaced the front and rear fenders with 5mm rubber gromets to meet the 190mm body.

In the end I got there. i haven't played with stance or steering angle, but it will have to be lower to clear the body pieces on full lock with these wheels.

Very Happy... I need a few more stickers and some colour on the rear wing. but thats all in time.

Next will be an out door shoot.

Preparation 7

It's still going to take a while to finish this. Getting the panels to line up perfectly and in the right place is no easy job.

I had a few runs due to impatience and paint incompatibility. Transparent silver and black didn't like each other in 10 degree ?HEAT? not ideal.

Anyway, it will tidy up nicely in the next few days. Still pissed about the side skirts.

Grr.r

test fitting.

this is a 200mm FD3s with parts meant for the 190mm body. The front of the 200mm is 190mm so it's only the rear that may need some careful heat bending...

Gonna be cool!

I may post a trimming tutorial too.
